You could contact RDG in Los Angeles. (rdgwoodwinds.com). They carry Loree, Marigaux and others and is a firm which has been around (albeit under different ownership) and highly regarded for decades. They might also offer used instruments.

Some instruments can be ordered with a plastic top joint, or with a plastic top joint in addition to a wooden top joint (esp. Loree) with wood for the rest of the instrument. It is the top joint where the greatest potential for crack damage (from temperature and humidity changes) exists. And occasionally such a top joint is available in the used market by itself.

There are many reputable dealers around the country who can be relied upon to send quality instruments on trial, if RDG does not have what you want. Have your daughter's teacher try the instruments, and send back the ones which you do not wish to purchase.
